#shorts Ferritin

Ferritin is an amazing biomarker to keep track of your health. 🩸

It can tell you a lot about how your body is functioning, and it’s one of my favorite indicators of health issues.
If you haven’t had your ferritin levels checked recently, I suggest you do – it could be the key to detecting an underlying health problem before it becomes too serious.
Have you had your ferritin levels checked before? What did you find? 🤔

My ferritin is at 19! I believe I have leaky gut.. can you suggest anything or do I just need to see a functional medicine doctor? :(

[veechristier]

Wow thank you man. I never thought of finding the reason my ferritin was low in the first place! 💡

[NicoProv]

I have confirmed leaky gut testing positive for zonulin and candida antibodies. But also my ferritin is high at 565. Im a 44 yr old male. I have other symptoms going on as well.

My ferritin is 8 mcg/dl serum iron is 18 mcg/dl calc % iron saturation is 5%
Trying to figure out the best protocol to get my iron levels up.

ferretin is 18 and iron is 80, whats the best supplement? spirulina?

[jerryjohnson]

My ferritin level is 200 but the lab that did the testing shows that this falls right in the middle of the normal range. My iron, tibc and percent saturation are all at the low end of normal. Any recommendations?

mine is 206~ feel exhausted, stomach pain from time to time dr just ordered an ultra sound bloated weight gain gas, etc, feel like everything I eat bothers me

[ElizabethCole-vw]

Mine is 1032. My doctor tested me for haemochromotosis. It came back negative so discharged me. They obviously don’t think it warrants further investigation!

[anshureji]

My HB level is11.7 and ferritin is 5.what does this mean?

[smkd]

Mine is 12...and dr says its fine...how do i get it to go up

[Neetadpatil]

Does the iron infusion level up the ferretin

[pearceclarissa]

Mines 365… I had an infusion a few months after I had my hysterectomy… it was at 325 after infusion, 6 months later it was 335, then six months after it was 365… Dr isn’t concerned that it’s rising. Is this bad? My thought is that I shouldn’t have had an infusion since I was no longer bleeding (heavy bleeding is why I had hysterectomy). But my ferritin had dropped to 65 so my dr thought I needed another infusion.

My Mayo Clinic doctor just told me that my hemoglobin being normal and my ferritin being 4 is fine! I have an appointment with a new doctor.

[AyatAnjum-qg]

I have 1511.50 confirmed in tests what can I do? Any suggestions

[JasonActualization]

Couldnt your ferritin be elevated entirely independent of inflammation? If a man is consuming a lot of red meat for example, the iron doesn't just politely disappear unless you are donating blood.

[rossklespies]

My mom’s ferritin level has climbed to +2600 from blood transfusions. I’m trying various supplements for liver detox for her.

[msims]

My hemoglobin is high but my Iron and ferritin is low what does this mean ?

[robinadair]

Why do Quest labs and LabCore have different value for ferritin? Quest differentiates between sexes and ages. It is more specific.

My ferritin level is 12! How to fix it 🙄
